Seen quite a few Niner folks around the Internet saying this will be a repeat of their Montana/Marino Super Bowl.
I sure hope their coaches are ignorant enough about Mahomes to think he's a statue like Marino. He's more like Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers with an even better arm than them. He has incredible instincts against the pass rush. Not saying he will pull a Houdini miracle on every single play, but he will occasionally do some stuff that makes the elite Niners pass rush look pretty foolish. He's made a career of this against elite pass rushers both in college and the NFL.
My suspicion is that Vegas is probably correct and this will be a very competitive game. I don't think either team gets blown out and I would not be surprised if both teams make it to 30+ points.
